Comment(by sebastien.barre):

 +1 / I second that. Even with the diff above, it seems to persist. I'm
 surprised it's not affecting more people; within the same page, you can't
 have the same shortcode with and without content.

 Example/Test:
 {{{
 function shortcode_test($atts, $content=null) {
   return '<p>Shortcode Test Content: {' . $content . '}</p>';
 }
 add_shortcode('test', 'shortcode_test');
 }}}

 Page:
 {{{
 [test/]
 [test]foobar[/test]
 }}}

 Output:
 {{{
 Shortcode Test Content: {
 [test]foobar}
 }}}

 i.e. the first short code completely swallowed the first half of the
 second shortcode. Is the regexp set to be "greedy"?

 Thanks
